SimpleX Self-Host Script, Tutorial, on Monero Provider - eviltoast

cross-posted from: https://monero.town/post/1084048

SimpleX is a private encrypted messenger that creates new identities for each conversation. However, as we pointed out in a previous video, when you first install the app, it’s all the developer’s own servers. This has metadata and centralization risks. We are here to help.

SimplifiedPrivacy.com is a completely different firm than SimpleX (although we share the same first word). We just released a tutorial video with a self-host script for any Debian/Ubuntu VPS that you can use to easily self-host a SimpleX server: https://video.simplifiedprivacy.com/simplex/

In the tutorial video, we taught how to use Kyun.host a Monero focused free speech provider in Romania that we recommend! However, you can use any provider.

Here is the script on our self-hosted gitlab on Kyun with an Iceland domain: https://git.simplifiedprivacy.is/publicgroup/simplex-self-host/

If you do not wish to self-host, you can add our SimpleX servers to your app for free:

Reach out to us if you’d like our help to setup many OTHER services or complex configurations/support at SimplifiedPrivacy.com

    @ride I know the background: this info could be very useful, and you commented, “Even if not directly Monero-related, this draws attention to the community when such contributions come from here.”

    The problem is, !privacyguides@lemmy.one has a different set of rules than Monero.town does, explicitly stating:

    This is not the place for self-promotion if you are not listed on privacyguides.org. If you want to be listed, make a suggestion on our forum first.

    Hence, as you can see in https://monero.town/post/1085883 (you double-posted the same thing, too), a negative comment about this:

    I feel like this might count as self-promotion, given it’s mentioning a particular website, their GitHub, their running service, etc. Regardless, it is informative

    @LWD@lemm.ee is not “childish”, even stating “it is informative.” But even if this post may be useful, we should follow the rules of !privacyguides@lemmy.one when (cross-)posting here; otherwise, Monero.town may look bad.
